Gillett: Start the movement with the hipshop, rotate the feet, land and pop back. These work on baseball specific movements he’s doing on the mound. We’ll go up to 180- and even 360-degree hops.

Verlander: This touches on the hips, speed and quickness, all things I want to work on so that I can field my position a little better.
